Leader Bio:
Born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised among great educators, philosophers, and theologians, Reverend Dr. Gregory Sutton was unique, he was different, he was called into the service of the Lord.Influenced by the struggle of our people, fueled by the passion to take a stand, bold enough to speak up and to speak out, compassionate enough about the welfare of others, the voice of Gregory A. Sutton emerged at the tender age of 16. At this young age, his destiny would begin to unfold…the boy, the preacher, the man, and the visionary.
Accepting the special call on his life, the voice of the youthful preacher began gracing pulpits, while he was still in high school. At the young age of 18, the young preacher was called to pastor a growing metropolitan church, Jackson Memorial, where he has pastored for 46 years. Through his leadership, the church continued to grow and its expansion lead to the construction of two churches, each new construction doubled the seating capacity. Today, the church has a growing membership of 6,000 plus members. Â

Jackson Memorial Baptist Church History
Jackson Memorial Baptist Church's genealogy goes back many generations. The church began in 1934 as Shady Grove Baptist Church with Reverend Huell J. Jackson. As the church congregation grew, the name and sites of the church changed three times. McDaniel Street Baptist Church, Elm Street Baptist, and finally, Jackson Memorial Baptist Church named after the late pastor, Reverend Huell J. Jackson. Dr. Huell Jackson answered the call from heaven after 29 untiring and faithful years of service to the members of Elm Street Baptist Church. The members of the church searched and searched for a new pastor and found Rev. James L. Green who remained pastor from January 30, 1964 until 1970. In December 1970, Reverend Gregory A. Sutton was called to the pastorate of the Jackson Memorial Baptist Church at age eighteen. Reverend Sutton began pastoral duties with approximately 85 members $300.00 in the church treasury. Knowledge of this young anointed minister quickly became widespread throughout the city of Atlanta and the church membership grew tremendously.
In the year 1977, construction began on the new Jackson Memorial Baptist Church at the corner of Fairburn Rd. And Thompson Dr. The new church opened in 1978. The church continued to grow and another church was built at the present location 534 Fairburn Road, N.W. Because of the need for increased capacity, an additional 500 seats were added in 2003.

When we stumble...
O Lord our God, Who has called us to serve You in the midst of the world's affairs, When we stumble, hold us; when we fall, lift us up. When we are hard pressed with evil, deliver us. When we turn from what is good, turn us back and bring us at last to Your glory.
